Saint John Bosco was an Italian priest who lived in Turin (Italy) at the beginning of the industrial revolution. He dedicated his life to the children and young people around him. He was concerned these children often had no home or family. He was also very worried that these children and young people could not attend school. He started a school and at first, the children lived in his family home with his mother - Mama Margaret Occhiena. He founded the religious order known as the Salesians. Today the Salesian Order teaches Don Bosco's message of care and loving kindness in schools all around the world.
The Salesians of Don Bosco, officially known as The Society of St. Francis de Sales, are an international organisation of Catholic priests and brothers dedicated to the service of the young, especially the disadvantaged and marginalised.
The Salesian Family is a worldwide movement of people committed to the service of the young. It consists of over 400,000 people who are part of 30 different organisations aligned to Don Bosco.
